Reynolds Wins Recount; Court Action Ahead

Senator Jim Reynolds added two votes to his total over Democratic challenger David Boren on Thursday during the recount of their close contest in Senate District 43.

Reynolds had led by 157 votes.

Boren, who is not related to University of Oklahoma President David Boren, sought a recount.

The recount increased Reynolds' margin to 159 votes, according to unofficial results that must still be certified by the State Election Board.

The election moves into a courtroom on Monday, as a judge hears arguments about possible voting irregularities.
